Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for the reply.
I live in Vic and in a complex of 8 units separated by a driveway which is property. Our Complex is registered as a Body Corporate Strata with our own plan no. I have purchased a unit about 3 months ago and recently attended my first Body Corp meeting, which is when I asked that the external light outside my property by turned off at 10pm with no success. So I then submitted an “Owner’s Corporation Complaint” which is when I received a letter back saying that [the strata managers] will hold a meeting at our units, but will charge the body corp $110.00, which does not make me very popular with the other residents.
Is this fair or legal to impose a fee when I am submitting a dispute?
I am concerned though that the other residents will again vote as to whether they will allow the light to be turned off at 10pm. I feel that the light is a ‘nuisance’ that is preventing me from enjoying my property fully. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks Jacqui
